How long before I start getting calls from SEO?

Most home services businesses start seeing movement in search rankings around 3 to 4 months. Real, consistent call volume usually kicks in between 6 and 12 months. It depends on your competition and how well your online presence is set up when we start.

Do I need a new website or can you work with what I have?

Depends on the site. If it's outdated, slow, or not set up for local search at all, building fresh with SEO baked in from the start is usually the better move. We'll look at what you've got and give you a straight answer.

What's the difference between SEO and running Google Ads?

Ads put you at the top of search results as long as you're paying. SEO gets you into the organic results and the map pack, which don't cost per click. Both work. SEO takes longer but builds something that lasts. A lot of home services companies do both.

Will this help me show up in towns outside Ore City?

Yes. We set up your service area pages and Google Business profile to cover the towns you actually work in — Gilmer, Big Sandy, wherever you're willing to drive. Google uses that information when deciding who to show for local searches in those areas.

What do you need from me to get started?

A list of your services, the areas you cover, photos of finished work if you have them, and access to your Google Business profile. If you don't have a Google Business profile yet, we'll set one up. The whole onboarding is pretty quick.

The yard sign problem

You finish a job. It looks great. Maybe you leave a yard sign out front for a week. A few neighbors drive by and see it. That's a handful of people. Meanwhile, someone two streets over has a busted water heater at 9 PM and they're typing into their phone looking for help. Your name doesn't come up. They call whoever does.

What SEO actually does for a home services company

SEO is how your website starts showing up when people in Ore City and the surrounding area search for the kind of work you do. Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, landscaping — whatever it is. Google has to understand what you offer, where you work, and whether you're a real business worth recommending. That's what we set up.

Your Google Business profile matters a lot here. If it's half-filled-out or has the wrong hours or no photos of actual work, that's costing you calls. We get that dialed — categories, service areas, descriptions, the whole thing. And then the website itself needs pages that match what people search for. Not one generic homepage. Actual pages for the services you offer and the areas you cover.

How this plays out in a place like Ore City

Ore City's small. About 1,100 people in town. But here's the thing — you're not just competing for Ore City searches. You're competing across Upshur County. Gilmer, Big Sandy, Diana, all the way out toward Longview. People in these towns search for home services all the time, and Google decides who shows up based on proximity, relevance, and how well your online presence is put together.

So when someone near the old mining district or out past the community center needs a contractor, your business should be in that map pack. Not buried somewhere nobody scrolls to. The map pack — those top three results with the map — that's where the phone calls come from. Getting there takes work on your Google Business profile, your website content, citations across directories, and reviews.

We're not going to tell you this happens overnight. SEO for home services typically takes 6 to 12 months before you see consistent traffic. But once it's working, it keeps working. You're not paying per click. You're not turning ads on and off depending on how busy you are. People just find you.

Our Website+SEO package starts at $3,500 and that includes a site built to rank plus the initial SEO setup. For ongoing SEO and ad management after that, we offer a plan starting at $750 a month. The ongoing work is where results compound — monthly adjustments to your content, tracking what's ranking, building local authority. That's the stuff that separates a business on page one from a business on page five.
